For #NationalEngineersWeek, we are getting to know our engineers. We gave them two words and said pick one. It wasn’t always easy, but it did show who they are and what matters to them. Watch our Stantec engineers choose, and then share your picks in the comments below. https://stantec.co/3IbQdm5

THE ENGINEER'S MOTTO 'If it's isn't broken, take it apart and fix it anyway', a fellow colleague said to me randomly. I recalled what Scott Adams quoted,👇 To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them. Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of spending time with Mike Watchorn, one of the most respected figures in the engineering industry. Despite the North East wind offering some hilarious challenges in capturing a photo — my apologies for the hair-covered face! — the day was rich with enlightening discussions and intriguing insights. As one of the most illustrious figures in engineering, Mike is renowned for his remarkable contributions in the field. I first met him around ten years ago at a well-known North East based engineering firm, where he was one of the key founding members. His innovative approach and leadership left a lasting impression on me, enriching our connection in the years that followed. I am excited to announce that I had the honour of interviewing Mike for Reach Further Online's next "Pioneering Perspectives" feature. In our conversation, Mike shared his passion for innovative thinking and his commitment to encouraging the growth of others. He delves into the intricacies of thought processes and strategic advancements that have the power to propel individuals and organisations to new heights. If you're excited to learn exclusive insights from an empowering, thought-provoking leader in engineering, this upcoming feature is for you. Dive deep into the strategies and thought processes of a man who not only pursues excellence but also inspires it. Stay tuned for this unmissable feature coming soon! In the meantime, check out our most recent feature here: https://lnkd.in/eTrAJgDh #PioneeringPerspectives #Engineering #DigitalMarketing #ReachFurtherOnline #InnovativeEngineering #NortheastEngland
